"WEF salutes these outstanding individuals and the profound impact they have made on the global water environment,” said WEF President Jackie Jarrell. "The accomplishments of the 2020 WEF Fellows are a testament to the remarkable dedication and passion of our members.”

The WEF Fellows Recognition Program underscores WEF’s role as a valuable water quality resource, which is due in large part to the expertise of its diverse membership. WEF Fellows are recognized in various areas of expertise including, but not limited to design, education, operations, regulation, research, utility management and leadership.
